SO HMS CORNWALL WAS "GATHERING INT"?

I'm not surprised.

But this should focus even more attention on how six Iranian boats were able to surprise the 15.

It's looking more and more like a provocation. When they were arrested Blair appeared on global TV claiming the 15 were arrested in Iraqi waters while operating under a UN mandate. We now know the Cornwall was spying on Iran, the maritime borders between Iran and Iraq are not well defined, and Iran had been making public statements it would arrest sailors, and the 15 were left on their own without air or naval support. Hmmm.

As with 9/11, heads should roll. But will they?
